Manipulating Images

All image manipulations apply to all selected images at once. The modifications are done in memory and alter the original files on disk only when the images are saved with the save function (see Section 5.1 ― Saving an Image).

4.1. Flipping an Image

To flip an image along the horizontal axis of the image, choose Image ▸ Flip Horizontal.

To flip an image along the vertical axis of the image, choose Image ▸ Flip Vertical.

4.2. Rotating an Image

To rotate an image 90 degrees in a clockwise direction, choose Image ▸ Rotate Clockwise.

To rotate an image 90 degrees in an anticlockwise direction, choose Image ▸ Rotate Counter Clockwise.

4.3. Undoing an Action

To undo a flip or rotate action, choose Edit ▸ Undo or press Ctrl+Z .

4.4. Deleting an Image

To move an image to the wastebasket, choose Edit ▸ Move to the Wastebasket. This moves the file to the wastebasket folder. Multiple images can also be moved to the wastebasket in the same way: select them all first.

To restore an image from the wastebasket, open the wastebasket folder in Nautilus file manager and move the image file to another folder. To delete the image permanently, empty the wastebasket. To find out more about using the wastebasket, see the User Guide.

You can also use the Del key to move an image to the wastebasket, in which case you will be asked for confirmation.
